Found: One Inmate Identification Card
I had just gotten on the 1/9 train after my Floor Barre class at Steps this afternoon when I noticed a laminated ID card on the seat labeled "INMATE IDENTIFICATION CARD". It had a passport size picture of a rather unfortunate looking soul and listed her name, religion (Muslim) and some other ID-Type numbers. "Department of Correction was stamped at the bottom. On the other side was a place for a signature, and a request that "If this card is found on a person in the street, please hold the individual and notify NYC Dept. Correction Central Operations Desk immediately."
What I love about this is that if this truly is a bonified "Inmate Identification Card" for the NYC Department of Corrections, they want you to "hold the individual" and call the cops. Of course they don't give you a phone number on the card to call, so I guess you're supposed to ask said felon to wait while you consult a phone book, or perhaps invite them back to your home while you check for the number online.
But hey, maybe it's just a hoax...
